At first, this passage seems straightforward, and it is. "Seek not after the riches nor the vain things of the world, for behold, you cannot take it with you." However, this passage might be misunderstood or worse, twisted around to achieve political goals or make a social statement. While it's true, you shouldn't make material gain your number one priority in life, it's important to not let this scripture passage carry you onto other sins, such as self righteousness or worse, envy.
